Catit Treat Ball Cat Toy

Works pretty good. I've been using it for his kibble instead of his treats, because he's got eating issues. The ball slows him down a bit so he's not gobbling his food down fast enough that it comes right back up. My only complaint is that it doesn't come apart for cleaning, but I knew that when I bought it. Crumbs and food dust seems to work it's way under the lid real easy. Haven't washed it yet (only used it twice) but soaking it every couple of times should get it mostly clean. Works as intended. He bats it around and a couple of pieces will fall out each time. Doesn't drop too much at once. It rattles nice and loud when food is in it, so he's able to tell when it's empty.

I bought this toy to keep our cat occupied during the time we're gone at work (pre-COVID). I was worried that she wouldn't be able to figure out how to get the treats out or would get bored, but it was the complete opposite! It did take a few tries and me showing her by rolling the ball around until a treat fell out for her to grasp the concept, but she LOVES it! She knows exactly what to do and will continue to play with it until she knows it is empty. I like how the opening is adjustable so depending on what size treats you want or how difficult you want the challenge, you can adjust it accordingly.

Either way, still recommend this!! … more

My 1.5 year old cat, a true kitten at heart, lost interest immediately. It's just an overgrown plastic ball that yes, holds treats, but the ball itself is no fun and the treats don't come out of the hole too easily, which further takes away my cat's interest.

My cat just doesn't "get" the "bat the ball around and food falls out" type puzzle feeders. I show her over and over and she's happy enough to eat any kibbles that fall out...and that's it. She does happily engage with puzzles that require her to use her paws to fish out the kibbles or move them around through mazes. So while this toy works just fine, I can't give it 5 stars because it's unusable in our house.

Hey. I'm Winnie. My parents got me and my sister Hazel two of these treat balls 1 pink 1 blue. It did not take me long to figure it out. Hazel is still trying to eat the treats through the ball. Yeah she's a little bit lazy. So I empty hers as well while she is asleep. The best technique I have figured out is get the hole right and bang it against the entertainment center and its like a jackpot in Vagas. These things are Awesome.

Know your cat. Mine would rather lay around and do nothing. I put his favorite treats in it and all he did was sniff it and walk away. If your cat plays with toys they might like this. Now my next venture is the fish that moves. Hum more money wasted.

I put my cats favorite treats in it and my cat refuses to play with it. I even roll it around to show him what to do and he just looks at me like I'm funny lol

This is a great treat ball dispenser for my 6 year old 10 lb. indoor-only cat. He doesn't have weight issues, but he doesn't get the exercise quality of an outdoor cat or great mental stimulation, so I wanted something a little more engaging for him to play with. My cat isn't very active/more of a cuddly lazy breed, but he loves food, so when he smells his Greenies treats in this ball he will not stop batting it around until he gets everything out. This ball is a bit large, about the size of an average closed adult fist, and probably not as suitable for young kittens. The ball is also a pretty standard toy plastic material that is totally safe in our (mainly carpeted) apartment/has never had This is a great treat ball dispenser for my 6 year old 10 lb. indoor-only cat.

The ball is also a pretty standard toy plastic material that is totally safe in our (mainly carpeted) apartment/has never had durability issues for us, but I get the feeling it would be a bad toy for cats that live in hard surface homes like wood or stone with a lot of hard furniture obstacles it could bash into, especially if the cat tends to smack toys around more aggressively. Typical crunchy/hard treats work perfectly in this toy (super small treats or most kibble will probably fall out of the holes too easily though), but softer/squishy treats and jerky things would not work and probably just stick to the inside. … more

I bought this item with excitement. It took a while to get my kitty to use it, but after a while it was used daily. My only problem is that it split apart after 1 month of use. I had to tape it in order to keep it together. Wish it was better made..

Zena Princess Warrior is willing to give a go at anything involving a slap and a treat. Unfortunately, this ball is a bit on the heavy side, and even on ceramic floors was not too cooperative. The device does not separate so cleaning it was a challenge for mom involving a slap and no treat. The toy survived. A larger cat, or multiple smaller cats with supervision might get a kick out of it.
